He came up as far as the Kaskaskia country, where he established himself. The following year, with a part of his slaves and some white miners, he went up to the present site of Galena and opened lead mines. The mining ventures were not satisfactory, and, after a few years, Renault, discouraged, returned to France, but his cargo of slaves was sold and distributed among the planters of the Illinois country. This was the beginning of slavery in Illinois, — just a hundred years later than its intro...duction into the Virginia colony. From that time until i860 the question of slavery did not cease to agitate the people of Illinois. France had given the colonists legal permission to hold slaves, and when, in 1763, England, by treaty, came into possession of the country, the French inhabitants were guaranteed their right and title to their slave property.
